The Longest Day

Category: teaching – Bernie Dodge – 10:35 pm

This is one for the record books. I got up at 5am in Phoenix to put the final touches on my keynote. Hoofed over to the convention center at 7:30, gave my presentation at 9:00. It went well, I think. The audience really didn’t want to be there, as it was a required meeting for those who received the last round (ever?) of PT3 grants, so it was like trying to get a laugh at traffic school. A number of people who wanted copies of the slides… always a good sign.

Then back to the hotel and airport for a 1pm flight to San Diego. Taught my 4pm class (which was gratifying because I got them over a technical hump and now they’re ready to make a million web pages.) Then June picked me up and got me back to the airport for an 8:15 flight. And now, comatosely tired but blogging with my last faint breath, I’m back in Phoenix, ready to enjoy the rest of the conference. More tales of interesting sessions to follow.
